What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Gina Hinojosa and Lt. Gov.-elect Vikki Goodwin have made Medicaid expansion a top priority. This expansion has faced opposition, including from Greg Abbott, who previously criticized the program as a potential tax increase. Currently, 16% of Texans lack health insurance, a rate that leads the nation.
